Familiar profile graces town harbour

Above seen arriving alongside in Lerwick on Saturday is Expedition. This cruise liner is the sister ship to the old Northern Isles ferry St Sunniva seen below in Lerwick some 10 years ago.

Although the sisters saw many name changes during their careers fate would decree that the Sunniva after a spell sailing out of Dubai would meet her end at Alang, India in 2005.

However her sister has gained useful employment sailing worldwide for G.A.P Adventures replacing the Explorer which sank in Antarctica in November 2007.
